"Great portable players (they have a great picture, neat size for children, and restart where they were switched off ) BUT they do not fit onto our Volvo car headrests (xc90) so the child must hold onto them for the whole journey."

Good Build Quality, Poor Design

1Star Poor
Recommend to a friend? No
"I bought these after several Bush units that only lasted a couple of plays before keeling over. The build quality is superb, but the detail design is hopelessly flawed:-
1) The screens attach the the headrest supports with brackets which have to be screwed together, which is a bit of a faff, but no more. When you're not using them you can't store them in the provided gadget bag, so they end up in a plastic bag which always seems to get separated from the gadget bag. The biggest gripe I have with the brackets is that they vibrate, unless the roads is mirror smooth and the screens shake around making them difficult to watch. My kids hated them, so back they've gone.
2) The screen doesn't open fully when open. It only opens 20 - 30° so changing discs is very difficult for kids when wearing their seatbelts."

"A friend recommended this DVD system to us. Its fantastic. The kids love it. Its very easy to fit and operate. The best feature, which lots of other systems don't have, is that when you turn the car engine off and then back on, the DVD players remeber where they were in the film and restart from that point - very important to avoid lots of frustration for the children and you having to get in the back of the car and try to help them figure out which part of the film they were watching when the car engine went off."

"REALY PLEASED , GOOD VOLUME FOR IN CAR AND SAVES ANY PROBLEMS AS THEY CAN WATCH THE SAME OR DIFFERENT FILMS ALSO IT IS NOT EASY FOR THE KIDS TO TAKE OUT THE DVD - A PROBLEM THAT WE HAD WITH THE LAST MACHINES WHEN THEY PLAYED WITH THE BUTTONS .
ALSO MAKES A GEAT SET OF DVD'S IF YOU HAVE BUNK BEDS SO THEY CAN WATCH THEM IN MORNING .
